Samudra Beach Chalet

Good value for money but don't expect the Ritz

Reviewed By rajblueheart

The chalet is cozy and comfortable but the air conditioning was pretty much blowing out warm air. It wasn't terribly unbearable but definitely quite uncomfortable. There was no potable water bottles provided and I think this basic gesture should be a given. Or at least a heating kettle to boil our own water because you can get quite dehydrated by the beach. Perhaps I can suggest bringing along some mineral water bottles. Anyway, the boat rides to the snorkeling areas was the highlight of the trip and pretty much made up for the AC and water issues. Food was okay and tasty but not buffet style, perhaps due to the new normal SOP? Samudra was very thorough organizing the trip and this should be commended. Overall, a pleasant trip and a great escape from the city to enjoy nature and the sea and the sun and sealife!

Iz Budget 2

Nice place

Reviewed By angad2102

The place is a bit far from the city but is really clean and nice. The owners are fantastic and would help you as much as they can. They can arrange car/tickets etc for you. There are few restaurants nearby and you can take a short cab ride to the nearby beach.

The Reef Chalets

The Reef Chalets is a cosy small place with 12 Chalets arranged in a half moon shape in a lush tropical garden with big trees and grass area.

Serene place

Reviewed By ZzOoooMm

The Reef Chalet on Pulau Perhentian Besar (Big Island) houses simple no frills cozy chalets close to the beach front. Hot water for showering, aircond, fan, mosquito net, towels & soap are provided. For drinking hot water, one will need to go to reception to obtain as there are no mini fridge or electric kettle provided. 3 pin plug points are sufficient for 2 pax staying. My friend and I were on a short 4 day3night stay as we’re out in the sea most of the 3days due to my friend’s open water swimming clinic event. Big island will be more for honeymooners or family as food & beverage choices are limited. Barat is next door serves beer & awesome Bbq & western food. Mama’s chalet next to Barat serves thumbs up Italian coffee. The beach in front has plenty of fishes and sea cucumber & is shallow for kids. It is recommended to walk about 10min to the back and swim at PIR beach. There’s a snorkelling place in front of PIR which have alot of bleached corals but so where a young black tip shark was spotted during the ows clinic. Becareful & do not step on the corals as corals are living creatures formed over decades. To reach Reef Chalet, Barat,Mama’s chalet, one will be dropped off at the floating jetty to walk about 50mtrs to beach. Dusky spectacle monkeys can also be spotted at the Reef chalet. Just be wary of your food and stuff. Do not try to feed them as this is against their natural diet and they will turn aggressive in long run. In summary, the big island is a chill out island. Fret not, there is a small shop selling tidbits, mineral water, beer , simple toiletries next to Reef chalet. Breakfast is not included at the Reef.

Mama's Chalet

Best location with nice and friendly local stay

Reviewed By Amm_Junnet

You have to get off at the Barat station pier and walk pass the Barat resort to get to Mama. And no real beach for Mama but you have your own beach chair under the trees which is very nice also. I took a nap one time but please aware of mosquitoes so do not forget to bring the spray and sunscreen too. Moreover, it's very convenient to go to the Perhentian beach by walking, no need for water taxi. And from there you can hike in the jungle to another beach, floral bay with less than 30 minutes. And at Perhentian Island Resort (PIR) beach you can snorkel and see turtles, big blue fish and nice coral. What I love most here is the people, they are very nice, calm, friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is good, local food and reasonable price. They have boat service, day trip, rental. On the last day, my boyfriend got some food poison and we did not even tell anyone but one guy noticed that my bf was not so well. He came and recommended some medicine and it helped a lot. So we survived quite ok on the bus back home. You have to bring your own shampoo, shower gel and tissue paper, if not you can buy at the resort also. And for drinking water, you can buy here also and it's the cheapest compare to other resort or minimart. BTW, If you want something fancy you can eat at the Barat bear by is also some nice BBQ dinner and a bit fancy lunch but very recommended. The bungalow is wooden and a bit old but good maintenance. The air-con works well but cut every 6 hours. During the day maybe too hot to stay in the bungalow but we enjoy being outside anyway. There are so many things to do. Going to turtle bay for some nice swimming with the big wave, to long beach for some nice cafe and fancy restaurant. Again you can hike to the windmill point, less than 30 mins and the view from there is very worth the journey.

Stay away from the rooms with private toilets!

Reviewed By Cheng Wey T

Bintang view chalet. I have no complaints against the one with a communal bathroom, but my friends and I paid for a private bathroom room, so that we would have easy access to a toilet anytime. To our dismay, the manager (Firdaus) is not a man of his word. We booked two rooms and stayed two nights, and from the first night onwards we had no water. Imagine paying an extra hundred ringgit for your own bathroom, only to find out you have no water. It was an easy iran to resolve, as the Bintang chalet restaurant had its own supply still. However, Firdaus kept pushing the problem aside, saying it'd be settled soon. "Soon" turned into our entire stay. In an attempt to placate us, he offered to refund us half our stay (RM400) but then proceeded to avoid us, and even got off the island to avoid us on the last day. Tldr: Avoid the rooms with private bathrooms. Management is different. They will swindle you, and spoil your trip. The extra money could have been spent elsewhere, and for the same price, better accommodation is plenty on the island.

Chempaka Chalets

Felt like Robinson Crusoe!

Reviewed By Gerard R

We stayed here for 2 weeks in June and would definately go back anytime. The location was very convenient as it was close to Spice Divers; where we did our Advance Open Water Diver Course. Even though the wooden bungalows were very basic and had electric supply only from 7.00pm - 8.00am; we enjoyed our stay. Suitable for backpackers and people who are not too fussy & want cheap accommodation!

Marang Sunrise Guest House

Amazing view but terrible experience

Reviewed By Jessica C

We booked a 2 room accommodation because we want the view . No amenities given such as toilet paper, shower gel or shampoo, just a hand wash. That is fine ... There was ants on the the dinning chair and table even though we didnt bring any food in, it will slowly crawl out . The biggest prob;em was the bed, I thought it was the mosquito biting me but to my horror , I woke up with both my legs n hand with red marks , half my face is also with bites. The comforter is without a cover, rough bed sheet (I tried to ignore n lower my expectation). My partner also has bites marks on her legs. Not sure how some don't have the same experience... I will never go back there again even with a million dollar view... I have to go to see a DR for a jap as the itch was very bad....

Good Kampung Style Chalet near the beach

Reviewed By Reazbd

The hotel was good compared to budget. We stayed in wooden structured chalet. Though it had lots of improvement areas, but we were very happy staying there. The beach is around 5 mins walking distance and you can see the beach from your room.
